Spotify Economic Audit

1. Executive Summary

1.1. Audit Objective and Scope

This forensic audit was commissioned to map the economic footprint of Spotify Technology S.A. (“Spotify” or “the Target”) to determine its level of “Economic Complicity” regarding the State of Israel, its military occupation of Palestinian territories, and the broader military-industrial complex supporting these activities. The specific intelligence requirements necessitated a rigorous investigation into investment flows, operational infrastructure (“Strategic FDI”), importer status, and supply chain dependencies. While the initial parameters referenced agricultural vectors (e.g., fresh produce), this audit has adapted the principles of supply chain forensic accounting to the digital service sector. In this context, “commodities” are defined as intellectual property, software dependencies, venture capital, and user data; “aggregators” are telecommunications providers; and “settlement laundering” refers to the digital normalization of occupied territories.

The audit utilized a comprehensive dataset comprising corporate filings, vendor disclosures, job descriptions, press releases, and geopolitical risk reports to construct a multi-layered complicity map.

1.2. Strategic Assessment: High Complicity Determination

Based on the gathered intelligence and the application of the Economic Complicity Scale, Spotify Technology S.A. is assigned a risk rating of High Economic Complicity. This determination is not driven by the direct sale of physical goods, but by a sophisticated web of capital injection, technological integration, and operational normalization that materially strengthens the Israeli defense and technology sectors.

The primary vectors driving this rating are:

1. The Capital Injection Vector (The Helsing-Rheinmetall Nexus): The Target’s CEO and controlling shareholder, Daniel Ek, has directed significant personal capital (derived from Spotify’s valuation) into Helsing, a defense AI company.¹ Helsing has established strategic interoperability and manufacturing partnerships with Rheinmetall AG, Germany’s largest arms manufacturer.³ Rheinmetall is a confirmed, active supplier of 120mm tank ammunition to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) for use in the Gaza Strip.⁵ This creates a direct capital pipeline from Spotify’s surplus value to the modernization of the military industrial base arming Israel.
2. Strategic Foreign Direct Investment (FDI): The Target maintains a dedicated Research & Development (R&D) center in Tel Aviv, focused on “Partner Experience” and “Platform” engineering.⁷ This goes beyond “Sustained Trade” (sales) and constitutes “Strategic FDI” (infrastructure building), extracting and validating human capital from the Israeli tech sector, which is deeply intertwined with the military intelligence apparatus.
3. Supply Chain Dependency on Military-Grade Cyber-Tech: The Target’s cloud security infrastructure is heavily reliant on Wiz, an Israeli unicorn founded by ex-Unit 8200 officers.⁹ This relationship includes deep technical collaboration (e.g., “Wiz Magic Lab” at Spotify HQ) ¹¹, integrating Israeli military-grade cyber methodologies into the Target’s consumer platform.
4. Settlement Normalization via Telco Aggregators: The Target distributes its Premium service through bundling deals with Partner Communications and Cellcom, both of which operate cellular infrastructure on confiscated Palestinian land and service illegal settlements.¹² By failing to geo-block settlements, the Target treats the Occupied West Bank as a standard domestic market, engaging in “Digital Settlement Laundering.”

1.3. Risk Outlook

The Target faces escalating reputational risk. The “No Music For Genocide” movement has successfully mobilized high-profile artists (e.g., Massive Attack) to remove their catalogs, explicitly citing the CEO’s defense investments as the primary grievance.¹⁴ This threatens the core value proposition of the platform—its content library—creating a material financial risk inextricably linked to the CEO’s geopolitical investment strategy.

2. The Capital Injection Vector: The Prima Materia Nexus

The most significant finding of this audit lies in the flow of capital from the Target’s executive leadership into the European defense sector, which serves as a critical upstream supplier to the Israeli military. This vector represents a profound ideological and material support for militarization, utilizing wealth generated by the Target’s platform.

2.1. The Source of Funds: Spotify Valuation as Defense Capital

Forensic analysis of the Target’s ownership structure reveals that CEO Daniel Ek holds approximately 37.3% of the voting power and a significant portion of the economic interest in Spotify.¹⁷ This wealth is liquid and fungible. Ek established Prima Materia, a European investment company, with a stated commitment of €1 billion from his personal fortune—wealth derived directly from the liquidity and valuation of Spotify Technology S.A..¹⁸

Therefore, while Spotify as a corporate entity does not manufacture weapons, the surplus value created by its operations and user base is the primary engine funding Prima Materia. This establishes a transitive property of complicity: User Subscriptions Spotify Revenue Ek’s Equity Value Prima Materia Capital Defense Industry Investment.

2.2. The Investment Target: Helsing

Prima Materia’s flagship investment is Helsing, a Munich-based defense technology firm.

• Transaction History: Prima Materia led a €100 million Series A round in November 2021 ¹⁸ and subsequently led a massive €600 million Series D round in June 2025, valuing Helsing at over €12 billion.¹
• Ek’s Role: Daniel Ek serves as the Chairman of the Board of Helsing ¹, placing the Target’s CEO in a direct governance role over a military contractor.
• Product Portfolio: Helsing specializes in software-defined warfare, specifically AI for autonomous systems. Key products include the HX-2, an AI-powered strike drone (loitering munition) designed for “precise mass” and operation in GPS-denied environments.²⁰

2.3. The Rheinmetall Connection: The “Smoking Gun”

The critical link to Israeli complicity is not necessarily Helsing’s direct exports (which they claim are currently focused on Ukraine ²²), but their deep strategic and industrial integration with Rheinmetall AG, Germany’s largest arms manufacturer.

2.3.1. The Interoperability Partnership

In September 2022, Rheinmetall and Helsing signed a strategic partnership to “digitize the land domain”.³ This collaboration involves integrating Helsing’s AI capabilities into Rheinmetall’s armored platforms.

• Mechanism: Rheinmetall builds the hardware (tanks, carriers); Helsing provides the “brain” (AI mission modules, target recognition).
• Impact: This partnership enhances the lethality, marketability, and technological longevity of Rheinmetall’s platforms. By modernizing legacy systems with AI, Helsing directly strengthens Rheinmetall’s position in the global arms market.

2.3.2. Rheinmetall’s Direct Supply to Israel

While Helsing provides the software, Rheinmetall provides the kinetic hardware used in Gaza.

• 120mm Tank Ammunition: Intelligence indicates that the German government approved the delivery of 10,000 rounds of 120mm precision tank ammunition to Israel in early 2024 to replenish stocks depleted during the Gaza bombardment.⁶
  • Manufacturer: These rounds are manufactured by Rheinmetall (specifically for the Rh-120 smoothbore gun, the standard NATO tank gun also used on the Israeli Merkava Mk 3 and 4 tanks).
  • Usage: The 120mm High Explosive (HE) and Multi-Purpose (MP) rounds are the primary munitions used by the IDF Armored Corps for structural demolition and anti-personnel operations in urban environments like Gaza.⁵
• Corporate Performance: Rheinmetall’s ammunition division has seen record backlogs and profitability due to the surge in demand from conflicts in Ukraine and Israel.⁵
• Complicity Logic: Daniel Ek’s capital (via Helsing) is not hermetically sealed. By investing €600 million into a company that is strategically partnering with Rheinmetall to build “Resilience Factories” ²⁷, Ek is subsidizing the R&D and industrial expansion of a firm (Rheinmetall) that is actively arming a genocide. The capital fungibility means that resources Rheinmetall saves on AI development (thanks to Helsing) can be allocated to expanding ammunition production lines that supply the IDF.

2.4. The Saab Nexus & Electronic Warfare

Helsing also maintains a strategic investment and partnership with Saab (Sweden).²⁹

• Integration: Helsing’s “Cirra” AI is being integrated into the Eurofighter Typhoon’s electronic warfare (EW) suite and the Gripen E fighter jet.⁴
• Relevance: While Saab’s direct transfers to Israel are less voluminous than Rheinmetall’s, the integration of European defense standards creates a shared technology pool. Israel’s defense industry often co-develops EW systems with European partners. The normalization of AI in aerial warfare, funded by Spotify-derived wealth, contributes to the global proliferation of autonomous targeting systems—technologies that critics argue are being “battle-tested” in Gaza by the IDF.³²

2.5. Table: Investment Flow Complicity Matrix

3. Operational Complicity: Strategic FDI in Tel Aviv

The audit establishes that the Target is not merely a remote service provider but maintains a physical and operational foothold within the State of Israel. This constitutes “Strategic Foreign Direct Investment” (FDI), which differs significantly from simple trade. FDI implies a long-term commitment to the local economy, infrastructure development, and labor market integration.

3.1. The Physical Footprint: Corporate Offices

Intelligence confirms that Spotify maintains a corporate office in Tel Aviv.⁷

• Nature of Facility: This is not a shell office. It is listed alongside major global hubs like New York and London as part of the company’s “global network”.³⁴
• Location: The office is situated in the high-tech center of Tel Aviv, placing it physically and culturally within the “Silicon Wadi” ecosystem.
• Function: While many multinationals maintain sales offices, Spotify’s Tel Aviv presence is an Engineering and R&D Hub.

3.2. Human Capital Extraction & R&D Specialization

An analysis of job postings and employee profiles reveals the specific nature of the work conducted in the Tel Aviv office.

• Recruitment Roles:
  • Senior Backend Software Engineer.⁸
  • Senior Fullstack Engineer – Platforms & Partner Experience.³⁵
  • Senior QA Engineer – Platform & Partner Experience.³⁶
  • Senior Engineering Manager – Core Infrastructure.³⁷
• Strategic Function – “Partner Experience”: The repeated reference to “Partner Experience” is critical. This engineering vertical is responsible for the technical integration of Spotify with third-party platforms—specifically ISPs, Telcos, and hardware manufacturers.³⁵
  • Audit Insight: This suggests that the Tel Aviv team is likely responsible for, or heavily involved in, the technical architecture that allows Israeli telcos (Partner, Cellcom) to bundle Spotify with their services. The R&D conducted here directly facilitates the “Aggregator Nexus” discussed in Section 5.
• Talent Pool: By hiring “Senior” engineers in Tel Aviv, Spotify is recruiting from a labor pool heavily populated by veterans of the IDF’s technology units (Unit 8200, C4I Corps). The symbiotic relationship between the Israeli military and the tech sector means that corporate salaries paid by Spotify effectively retain and reward talent trained in military intelligence contexts.

3.3. “Work From Anywhere” Policy in a Conflict Zone

Spotify promotes a “Work From Anywhere” policy.³⁸

• Implication: This policy effectively decentralizes the office. Employees can work from home. Given the settlement activity in the West Bank, it is statistically probable that some portion of the Spotify workforce or its contractors may reside in or operate from illegal settlements, utilizing internet infrastructure provided by complicit telcos. This diffuses the “office” footprint into occupied territory, making the company’s operations agnostic to international borders or Green Line demarcations.

4. The Digital Supply Chain: Vendor Dependencies

In the digital economy, the “supply chain” consists of cloud infrastructure, security vendors, and software dependencies. This audit identified a critical reliance on Israeli vendors with deep ties to the military-intelligence apparatus.

4.1. The Wiz Dependency: Unit 8200 Integration

The most prominent vendor relationship is with Wiz, a cloud security platform.⁹

• Origin: Wiz is headquartered in New York but its R&D and founding team are Israeli. The founders (Assaf Rappaport, Ami Luttwak, Yinon Costica, Roy Reznik) are all former officers of Unit 8200, the IDF’s signals intelligence unit.¹⁰
• Strategic Reliance: Spotify is a marquee customer for Wiz.
  • Deep Integration: Spotify utilizes Wiz to secure its multi-cloud environment (AWS/GCP), meaning the security and integrity of Spotify’s entire user database and streaming infrastructure rely on Israeli technology.¹⁰
  • The “Magic Lab”: On February 19, Spotify hosted a “Wiz Magic Lab” at its Stockholm headquarters.¹¹ This was a hands-on workshop where Wiz engineers trained Spotify staff on “breach investigation” and “threat detection.”
  • Significance: This is not a passive vendor relationship; it is a strategic partnership. Spotify is actively importing Israeli military-grade cyber methodologies into its corporate culture. By hosting these labs, Spotify normalizes the expertise derived from the surveillance of Palestinians (a core function of Unit 8200) and repurposes it for corporate data protection.
• Economic Impact: Wiz is valued at over $10 billion. Contracts with global giants like Spotify are the primary driver of this valuation. Spotify’s payments to Wiz effectively subsidize the Israeli cyber-security sector, which acts as a strategic reserve for the IDF during conflicts.

4.2. Ad-Tech & Attribution: AppsFlyer

Spotify Ad Analytics maintains a server-to-server integration with AppsFlyer.⁴¹

• Profile: AppsFlyer is an Israeli mobile marketing analytics company.
• Function: It allows advertisers to track app installs and attribution on the Spotify platform.
• Complicity: Every time an advertiser uses Spotify to drive app installs, data and revenue flow through AppsFlyer’s systems. This integrates a key Israeli tech firm into the monetization engine of Spotify’s free tier.

4.3. Historical Precedent: SoundBetter

While no longer owned by Spotify, the acquisition history of SoundBetter is relevant to the “Economic Footprint.”

• The Deal: In 2019, Spotify acquired SoundBetter, a music production marketplace founded by Israelis Shachar Gilad and Itamar Yunger.⁴³
• The Divestment: In 2021, the founders bought the company back.⁴⁵
• Audit Note: The acquisition injected millions of dollars into the Israeli startup ecosystem. This history demonstrates Spotify’s willingness to scout and acquire Israeli assets, validating the “Exit Strategy” that motivates the Israeli venture capital market.

5. The Aggregator Nexus: Telco Partnerships & Settlement Laundering

In the agricultural sector, auditors look for “Aggregators” like Mehadrin that mix settlement produce with Green Line produce. In the digital sector, Telecommunications Providers act as the aggregators. They bundle the digital service (Spotify) with internet/cellular access, effectively “laundering” the service into the settlement economy.

5.1. Partner Communications (formerly Orange Israel)

Spotify has a major partnership with Partner Communications.¹³

• The Bundle: Partner TV offers the Spotify app pre-loaded on its set-top boxes. Partner mobile subscribers are offered Spotify Premium bundles.
• Complicity Profile: Partner Communications is a primary target of the BDS movement.
  • Infrastructure: It operates hundreds of cellular towers and antennas on confiscated Palestinian land in the West Bank.
  • Settlement Service: It provides essential internet and cellular services to illegal settlements and IDF outposts.
• The Transaction: When a settler in the West Bank subscribes to Partner TV, they receive Spotify as a value-add. Spotify shares revenue with Partner (or vice versa, depending on the specific billing arrangement).
• Implication: Spotify leverages Partner’s infrastructure—built on occupied land—to deliver its service. Spotify acts as a “sweetener” for Partner’s customer retention, indirectly supporting the financial viability of a telco deeply embedded in the occupation enterprise.

5.2. Cellcom Israel

Similar arrangements exist with Cellcom, another major Israeli telco.¹²

• Complicity Profile: Cellcom has historically marketed “Soldier Plans” and provides infrastructure to the IDF.
• Zero-Rating: Spotify engages in “Zero Rated Data” deals with telcos ¹², allowing users to stream music without using their data cap. This requires deep technical integration with the telco’s network management systems—systems that also manage traffic for settlements and military bases.

5.3. “Settlement Laundering” & Geo-Blocking

The audit investigated whether the Target distinguishes between “Israel Proper” and the “Occupied Territories.”

• Findings: There is no evidence that Spotify geo-blocks its service in the West Bank settlements.¹⁵
• Digital Laundering: A user in the settlement of Ariel logs in and sees “Spotify Israel.” They pay in New Israeli Shekels (NIS). The VAT is remitted to the Israeli Tax Authority.
• Legal/Ethical Breach: By treating the settlements as part of the Israeli market, Spotify normalizes the occupation. Unlike physical goods which may require “Produce of Settlement” labeling (e.g., EU guidelines), digital goods currently evade this scrutiny, allowing Spotify to profit from the settlement economy without reputational friction—until now.

6. Reputational & Financial Risk: The “No Music For Genocide” Boycott

The economic complicity of Spotify has triggered a material backlash that threatens its primary asset: its music catalog. This feedback loop is the most direct financial consequence of the Target’s geopolitical positioning.

6.1. The Movement

The “No Music For Genocide” campaign was launched in response to the war in Gaza and specifically targets platforms complicit in the military-industrial complex.¹⁴

• Scale: Over 400 artists and labels have joined.
• Key Figures: Massive Attack, Refused, Kneecap, and others.
• Specific Grievance: The campaign explicitly cites Daniel Ek’s investment in Helsing as the catalyst for the boycott. The artists argue that revenue generated by their music is being siphoned by Ek to fund AI weapons technologies used by companies (Rheinmetall) destroying Gaza.

6.2. The Mechanism of Removal

Artists are requesting the removal of their catalogs or “geo-blocking” their content from Israel.¹⁴

• Material Impact: If high-profile artists remove their content, the utility of the Spotify subscription decreases. This increases “Churn Risk” (subscribers cancelling).
• Spotify’s Response: Spotify contends that “Spotify and Helsing are two totally separate companies”.¹⁵
• Forensic Rebuttal: This defense fails the economic reality test. The source of capital for Helsing is Ek’s Spotify wealth. The source of legitimacy for Ek is his status as Spotify CEO. The entities are financially and reputationally linked.

6.3. Counter-Pressure & Censorship

Conversely, the audit notes pressure from pro-Israel lobby groups (e.g., “We Believe in Israel”) urging Spotify to remove pro-Palestinian content.⁵⁰

• Risk: If Spotify capitulates to these demands, it faces accusations of censorship and political bias, further alienating the artist community and progressive user base.

7. Seasonality & “Winter Sourcing” (Digital Adaptation)

While the Target does not source winter citrus, it engages in “Campaign Seasonality.”

• Spotify Wrapped: The annual “Wrapped” campaign (December) is a critical user retention event.
• Observation: During the Dec 2023 / Dec 2024 periods (height of Gaza bombardment), Spotify continued its marketing campaigns in Israel unabated. The “Winter Sourcing” in this context is the harvesting of user data and subscription renewals during a period of active conflict, normalizing commerce amidst crisis.

9. Insights & Second-Order Effects

9.1. The Fungibility of “Defense of Democracy”

Daniel Ek justifies his investment in Helsing as a defense of “European Democracy” against Russian aggression.² However, the forensic audit reveals a critical contradiction: Defense Capital is Fungible. By investing €600 million into the European defense industrial base (Helsing), Ek increases the total liquidity and R&D capacity of the sector. Helsing’s partnership with Rheinmetall strengthens Rheinmetall. A stronger Rheinmetall—with advanced AI capabilities—is better positioned to manufacture and export lethal aid to other clients, including Israel. The “Resilience Factories” being built for drones in Germany contribute to a supply chain that has historically and currently fed the Israeli war machine. The “defense of democracy” in Ukraine is thus economically tethered to the “supply of genocide” in Gaza via the shared industrial base of Rheinmetall.

9.2. The “Dual-Use” Feedback Loop

The relationship with Wiz highlights the Dual-Use Feedback Loop.

1. IDF Unit 8200 trains cyber-intelligence officers in surveillance and offensive cyber-warfare (often tested on Palestinians).
2. These officers discharge and found companies like Wiz.
3. Global corporations like Spotify contract Wiz for millions of dollars, validating the technology and providing the “exit” liquidity.
4. This capital flows back into the Israeli tech ecosystem, tax base, and eventually the defense budget, funding the next generation of Unit 8200 training.
   Spotify is not just a customer; it is a vital organ in the circulation of capital that sustains Israel’s “Startup Nation” military model.

9.3. The Moral Hazard of Dual-Class Shares

The extreme concentration of voting power in Daniel Ek’s hands (37.3%) ¹⁷ creates a governance failure. Shareholders who object to the Helsing investment (and the resulting artist boycott) have no mechanism to force a divestment. The corporate structure of Spotify effectively insulates the CEO’s geopolitical adventurism from market discipline, allowing the complicity to deepen despite material risks to the brand.
